What to eat in Kangding, China | Kangding travel guides

A're Tibetan restaurant

Xinshi Dian Jie

Prices are not excessive

Venue for both good food and ambience. The restaurant is decorated in a traditional style, with adjacent private rooms and waitresses in traditional dress. Waitresses and local customers have a habit of dancing to the local music playing in the cafe. The food is varied and delicious. Westerners may appreciate the potato fried in Yak butter. Service is prompt.

Sonam Tso

From the Black Tent Hotel cross the river and then turn hard right along the street on the south riverbank, walk about 60 feet

Small cafe serving drinks and - perhaps - western breakfast. Check out the unusual Tibetan handicraft prototypes that adorn the cafe walls.

Kalakar Hotel

On the south bank directly facing the river, about 10 minutes walk down from the Black Tent

Restaurant on the second floor that serves up french fries, bobo shakes, and other East-West-blend fast foods.

Tangsubao

Open for breakfast only

From the Black Tent hotel doorway turn right and walk to the front steps of the large Kangding Hotel, then turn left to follow the alley; after about 40 feet you will find the restaurant on your left. There is no English sign, but you will see a doorway leading to the kitchen on the right and microscopic dining room on the left

a tiny hole-in-the-wall, serves up the best meat dumpings in Kangding, maybe anywhere. They do take-away, or you can ask them to set up a table in the street.
